This was a serious incident that could have resulted in loss of life approaching 1,000 souls. And there was considerable ethical malpractice in the CVD being deleted at the end of a flight involving such a serious incident. These factors alone necessitate a full enquiry. Not a scratch? Yes - based on the actions mainly of alert pilots on the taxiway. This was a horrendous incident with 60 feet separation or less between fully loaded aircraft.
Regardless of the above - civil aviation pilots generally carry hundreds of pax in airplanes worth over $100m. That carries a responsibility. If you don't like the idea that in the case of a serious incident, relevant personal factors are included in the formal accident report, then don't fly. It's been part of the job for decades and any responsible flyer should completely agree with it.
If the details are irrelevant, then fine, but home life and rested status are directly relevant to human factor safety.
